Lot 1
No lot description published.
The Department for Communities (DfC) in conjunction with Newry Mourne & Down District Council (NMDDC) are seeking a development proposal for this site known as “Irish Street Development Scheme". The site is located within Downpatrick Town Centre, as defined within the Ards and North Down Area Plan and sits adjacent to the Primary Retail Core. The east end of the site falls within Downpatrick Centre Conservation Area, and the complete site lies within an area of Significant Archaeological Potential. The overall objective of this Procurement is to attract high quality development proposals that meet both DfC & NMDDC joint objectives for a high quality multi use scheme that is commercially led and provides sustainable urban regeneration. The Authority recognises the contribution that Developers’ can make to urban regeneration in terms of innovative high-quality design, professional expertise and financing. It is anticipated the appointed Developer will design, build, own and operate this Redevelopment Scheme. The successful developer will enter into a Development Agreement under Licence with DfC to deliver this project. This Agreement will set out the contractual framework governing the development, including obligations, conditions, and procedural requirements. The Developer will be responsible for all design work required to secure full planning permission and satisfy requirements of all other statutory bodies. The Developer will be responsible for all aspects of the construction of the works, in full compliance with the Development Scope, all relevant statutory regulations, and relevant legislation.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Site preparation work (45100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 45 | 8,214 | 4 median · 23.5 average (1,644 of 8,214 with a bid count) | 3.6 average (1,810 of 8,214 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKN | 140 | 4 median · 6.2 average (39 of 140 with a bid count) | 1.8 average (69 of 140 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 716 | 6 median · 10.8 average (9 of 716 with a bid count) | 4.4 average (9 of 716 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
